Please come to the expo and introduce yourselves. Great weekend. With a little bit of luck we mightn't be too hot.

New garment and Van updates..

A machine knit project I have been thinking about..

 

 

And a couple of cheap shelving units added to the van

 Sheets and tablecloths hold the items in when on the road. Then all gets tidied up at the markets.

More work..

And some knitting





 

This past month...

..has been busy.
Family commitments with parents with injuries. All siblings had to help where they could.
The Pop Up in Kyabram for me was far too quiet, and the wrong season. But that's okay. The only thing was that I was there too many days, without getting the work done at home.
Sales were reasonable, but I would have liked better.
Now if I can get this week over and get a little something done I will be happy.
Monday.. take Mum to optometrist to see if eye injury ok for cataract surgery Thursday
Tuesday.. lovely day yesterday at Milawa for Wang spinners to have Christmas lunch, fibre sandwich, spinning, Kris Kringle and be with good friends.
Wednesday.. lunch with the Echuca Wool & Craft group for Christmas breakup
Thursday.. Mum to Shepparton for cataract surgery, then pick her up and take her back home to Echuca.
Friday.. mum to Shepparton again for eye check.
Saturday.. Nagambie market, then home and pack to head off to Birregurra for 40th birthday celebrations of the Black & Coloured Sheep association.
Sunday return home late after the day's events.
Well I was going to add some photos but Google won't let me. I will have to find out what they have changed. Normally you can just add your photos as in Insert image. Darn!!

Getting ready for the weekend markets and Pop up shop..

..and so far have summer scarves, light short sleeve lace cardigans, working on yarn.

 

We are setting up a Pop Up indoor mini market in Kyabram..

..A few stallholders who regularly set up at markets around our area, are setting up in an empty shop in the main street of Kyabram.
There will be buttons and jewellery, myself with my woollie goodies, mosaics, handmade gifts , clothing and more. This is just a headsup.
Planned date is November 2nd, day before Melbourne Cup Day. The Bush Market will also be on that Friday.
As it is an empty shop, we won't have power but it will be light enough.
